I thought I explained to you that calling someone a nerd isn't an insult and just makes you look like you are admitting to being less intelligent.

 

something only a nerd would say

Lol..

[gruber92]

I understand why you might use the words "faggot" and "retard", because if you didn't you could mistakenly come off as more informed and intelligent than you actually are, which could in turn make some people think of you as a "nerd".

 

God forbid, what a catastrophe that would be.

 

Is it wrong for someone to sound well informed while using those terms at the same time? I don't understand why people have a problem with the two combined. What's the problem?

It isn't wrong per se, just impossible if they are used in a derogatory manner.

[gruber92]

Arguably, making fart noises and plugging your ears is a more sophisticated and intelligent response than calling someone a faggot on the internet. You nerd.

In a society where freedom of speech is an actual thing, you and people like you need to learn to ignore. By responding in a manner where you are instigating a response, or worse may create a situation where things could get physical, you my friend are the one who would be held responsible for the outcome. Why so sensitive?

Technically in Canada you don't have total freedom of speech. Hate speech that intends to cause violence is illegal. So calling people daggers may not get you all cozy with the cops if a fight breaks out OL

Dumn. How are we to educate or invoke social change and progress?

WAT

 

Why so sensitive?

 

I think you are misinterpreting sensitivity in this case with being informed, tolerant, and attempting to educate. Evidently the last part of that was a mistake.

Discriminatory slur words are not created by the people who they are used against, but by the prejudicial thoughts and actions of others who hate them because of prejudice. After these words are created, however, the people who these words were used against forever own them. And the defendants in the case, or anyone not a part of the discriminated group, are never allowed to rewrite the words history to change it's meaning or minimize it's impact.

 

Note: these are not my words but I find them very well written

Meh.. I just want to talk ball when I'm here. There are obviously people here who want to shove political correctness down people's throats,or they claim they are attempting to educate. LOLLLLLLLL. For whatever it's worth, certain phrases I may use don't imply the actual meaning. If there are some here that are sensitive to theses phrases, put me on ignore and f*** off. That's all from this misinformed, uneducated dumb f***ing faggot of a nerd stooge.

 

Have a nice day.

 

and all people are trying to say is that the language and words you choose are part of the reason that the impact of what you say is less than others.

[HERPDERP]

wtf happened here.

 

I'm here to talk prospects!

"Free speech" means that the government cannot regulate speech, not that you get to say whatever you want and people can't call you out on it. Freedom of speech is not freedom from responsibility. Also, Canada does not have unlimited free speech in the same manner that the US does...

See how s*** happens? You and I were having a conversation. You were breaking my balls a little bit regarding Goins, I said or made a few references towards you and then said that you were just teasing. I appreciated your comments and WE left it at that. Next thing you know you get people wanting to set me on fire when they should just mind their own f***ing business.

Yup, somebody put their thinking caps on nice and tight this morning.

[Daniel Labude]

Just like when you call someone a 'faggot', it makes you seem insecure about your own sexuality.

 

From the last couple of pages we can only infer that you are a) stupid and you know it, and a closet homosexual

 

You need to watch the South Park episode...

This is what I do. Let me know the next time you see someone use the word retard, mention Islam, or mix up your and you're.

Wow.. I have to say I feel a sense of comfort now knowing that you're policing the board. People should look up to more often, imo.

This is kind of funny. Gruber doesn't understand that freedom of speech means that you can say whatever the hell you want.

 

You are right, U.S. I believe has even greater freedom of speech. But in Canada you mostly can't diss a religion or race... I think. But you can diss individuals all you want.

 

Gruber is an idiot. An idiot. He loves Goins. Goins sucks. Goins is awful. Gruber is stupid for his belief in Goins.

 

I mean that is totally legit in Canada right?? I am a Canadian Citizen living in the states... if in Canada you can not say Gruber is an idiot for his belief in Goins... then I am glad I am here.

Yeah.. Gruber92. WTF is up with that?? I know they won the World Series that year... but Gruber88, Gruber89 and Gruber90 all would make sense.

 

Maybe Gruber92 was born in 92?? Why would he even know much about Gruber?? I'd guess you'd have to be atleast 10 in '88 to like Gruber. After 1990 Gruber was actually the only guy Casuals new... but by 92 Gruber was injured, awful and apparently water skiing while on the disabled list.

[Olerud363]

Wow! That's pretty strong stuff. Your saying I can't even return to my Native country because you don't like me. You are kicking a citizen out of his own country. That is pretty hateful. If anything borders on hate speech, it is telling me I cannot return to my home and native land because of your hate for me.

I wish I was born in 92. Stop being so f***ing gay, it's nauseating.
